That's why I put my girl into MGS... no need to stress again for her PSLE... and you can see why MGS and SCGS is so hot when compared with RPS

Excellent choice! Affiliation is set all the way to ACJC!

That is the reason why branded sec schools are starting to increase their cut-off points for their affiliated pri schools so that the bridge between those entering via affiliation vs the others becomes smaller

Affliation to branded sec school is a strong selling point... so pri school good or not, is not very important...

This thread is getting to be really interesting. Honestly, MOE does not send the cream of its crop to the supposed top schools. Of course the GE prog is entirely different and teachers who teach GE are actually invited to that department. But for the mainstream, the entire curriculum is the same. If you have been following trends, the top PSLE student is normally not from a branded school. Branded schools give the impression that they do well for only two reasons. 1)The GE cohort there bumps up their grades. 2) Affliation to a branded sec school makes it such that other candidates have to score really high marks to enter, thus giving the impression that so and so pri school is good.

Hi bros, think the topic a very interesting one. I'm also one of the panic to be parents as my kid is due for registration next june. me still havnt start any PV, not yet situate myself within 1km of the desired sch for my kid all becos my 2nd is going to due soon and I need dmestic help from my in laws who stay in a place out of the schools of our desire. Frankly, i was disgusted by the registration process for P1 though my wife is a teacher. As I prowl around for schools, I actually discovered that many NH schools are with lots of vacancies, but we know that those are usually the ones that reside at the bottom of the comparison tables.

I feel that its such an irony to see such situations as there are indeed many schools around, but being a parent that wants the best for our precious ones, especially to start from young, we will all go raging at the better schools. sorry to say but if a top sch is 2 km from my place with 10 slots and 20 competitors as compared to a top from the bottom sch that is 1 km from my place with 100 slots and no competitor, I'll still try for the former . The reason being the gaps between them are just to great at this moment. I feel that one way that the ministry can ease such pain is to close up the standard gaps between the schools, meaning to strengthen the schools that are at the bottom of the tables and lift up their standards so that eventually parents know that it doesn't matter which school their kids are going into. I'm one of those who believes that all kids are born equal,my kids are not really smarter than yours and neither is yours really smarter than mine. The differences are in what we feed them, what we teach them and how we groom them.... My Apologies for the long opinion.... No offence here to anyone!

I mentioned HK because, in my personal opinion feel very at home as the majority of the population are chinese and the hinderland they could rely on.

I am not trying to indirecting at anyone. I am born and raise here. In the heirloom i am considered the 3rd generation Singaporean residing here. Singapore is where i call home. Served, completed the national service and the 13 year cycle . Singapore is very small without any natural resources and venerable to all kinds of threats be it terriorist or financial influence.

We do not have a mother land where we can rely on. How long can Singapore survive, no body knows. Lets hope for the best and will remain to prosperous for a long time!

multi millionaire, i think they look for security nia... anything else is secondary mah... wu lui kia si ... hahaha

i dont neeed the peak, cos i can jet ard the world to enjoy, but home must be secured ... and safe, political stable... tht i mst admit sg gov good at... but thn again... targeting rich...... so mid cls and below need to look after

Bro Frogmen, if you are so rich that can fly in style with a Heli, I think anywhere in the world is a Heaven to you....

If i am a multi millionaire not few millionaire I will choose to go Hong Kong rather than SGP. You get to live at the Peak or the Villa facing the south china sea. Fly in style with a Heli from one building to another for biz meeting or a get away with a luxury yacht over the weekend. Enjoy the best quality of food & service you can get there....

That is why you see more successful businessman there as compared to here. We are not to blame but the policies here do not really give us the chance to do so.

[Frogmen]

of cos must choose mah... if u multi millionaire, sg is ok to settle down..
if just working cls, choose where gv u the most quality, comfortable and retirement benefit mah. dont blame them lah
